| Prayer is for God’s will to be done, not our own. A lot of times as Christians, we fall into the trap of praying for our own desires and selfish motives. When Jesus was on the Earth, He gave us a clear blueprint for prayer. In Matthew 6:9-13 The Bible says, “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. If we choose to disobey God and His ways, we can’t expect that He will answer our prayers according to our own desires. However, the closer we draw to the Lord, the more our prayers will align with His purpose and plan. In Psalms 37:4 is says, “Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart’s desires.” A lot of times we interpret this scripture as, “as long as we delight in the Lord, He will give us whatever we want”, but this verse actually shows that as we draw closer to God, as we come to know Him and His heart more and more, He will give us new desires. He will align our desires with His, so that when we pray, we will pray accordingly to His will. Be encouraged today, and remember to draw close to the Lord! |
